CSSC #9 - Christmas Tags

Hello blogger friends, Rahmat here, hope everyone is having a kick start to their weekend! We are here with a brand new Challenge at CSSC for this month. The festive season is fast approaching, so our challenge theme matches to it. Yes it is to make :

                                    Christmas Tags

1. Create a Christmas tag, based on any medium you want, but it has to be a tag only.
2. You can enter as many times as you like
3. Only new work please
4. Have fun.. ;)

And the winner will receive a 6x6 Avery Elle paper pad sponsored by Donna Mikasa. Thanks Donna.. :)

I made 2 tags, here is the first one:

I used a white card stock and stamped the STAMPlorations - trendy feather to create the background, using 2 different distress inks - forest moss, and brick fire. Once done with the stamping I rounded the bottom most corners, and added a washi tape and then the sentiment, finally a wreath to finish off the tag.  oh wait, I forgot to mention the festive string, it is a decorative string in shiny green and red color, looked very Christmasy to me, and it goes pretty well with the tag.

The second one:

This one is a simple one, I used a font to create the snowflakes in shades of blue, printed off. and then cut the tag,and sponged the edges with blue pigment ink and added a blue fabric tape, and sentiment, a sheer blue ribbon to finish off, plus added blue and white rhinestones on the snowflakes. Done!

Hope you like both these simple tags. Stay tuned to the blog, more inspiration to rock the blog soon, I had a peek of what is coming up next and you don't want to miss it.

Now use another set of distress inks...Tumbled Glass & Peacock Feathers...this time I have used my big Acrylic block...

Place wherever you want and press it.....

I have repeated the small block on the big one...

Here is the card.....I have used my Versafine black ink for all the stamped images. Cut the design and chomped the corners and pasted it on black CS then on white CS again. .embellished it with BT and pearl.

VINTAGE CARD USING ONE STAMP SET

Hello Friends , Its Ramya here... Hope you all are doing good and we have an exciting challenge at CSCC this month. Today its my turn to share my creation with you. 

Actually I dont have any clear stamp set with me and I have'nt tried stamping with clear stamp so far. This is the biggest  advantage of being a DT. I had to come out of my comfort zone and try something new and exciting.  Now have a look at the card that I have created.

 I bought a tim holtz clear stamp set. Since the stamps are best suitable for vintage themed cards I  created the same. 

My stamp set had more stamps than that can be accommodated in a card so I created a small tag too. 

 I started off by taking a white cardstock and applied homemade texture paste over alphabet stencil. Then applied watercolours to get the brown colour. Distressed the edges black ink. I stamped each one on a separate cardstock and glued them to my card. The blooms are handmade.  

I had so much fun creating this card and am very happy with the way the card turned out. So you too have fun by playing with us along CSCC #8 . Stay tuned for more inspiration from our talented catchy girls.
